Chapter 488 Praise to Kill

Amir knew that the moment he saw his father's expression change, things were no longer simple.

Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, smiled and prepared to see how the plot would unfold.

With his grandson here, the king would take the matter seriously with just a word from him.

But neither the father nor the son had clearly anticipated this, and the middle-aged man had already stood up, staring at his son and saying:

“Amir, you must understand, Ram’s father is a very powerful official in the court. He is not someone we can afford to offend. If you arrest him, it could even bring death upon both of us.”

Furthermore, we have no way of actually punishing him, because once his father gets the news, he will definitely come to his rescue.

Amir stared at his father and said:

"So, are we just going to let this scumbag run rampant?"

His father sighed:

“I understand what you want to do, but there are some things we can’t do. That’s not our problem.”

Amir fell silent. Perhaps this was the most important lesson his father had taught him, making him understand how helpless people can sometimes be.

Zhu Yunwen also strongly agreed with this statement, saying that most people are powerless to change many existing things.

Some problems are indeed not the fault of any one person, and some things are not the responsibility of any one person.

It is incredibly difficult to make changes, even though Zhu Yunwen, as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, handled some issues very smoothly.

But he has his wisdom, his identity, and his status; these are all his unique qualities, which shows that ordinary people still make up the majority of the world's population.

The things that leave them helpless are mostly problems faced by ordinary people, so they often seem unable to solve them.

Amir suddenly looked at Zhu Yunwen and then spoke:

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, your position is of utmost importance. If you can help with this matter, even His Majesty the King will have to give you face.”

As soon as he said this, his father spoke first:

"This is utterly absurd! How can His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty meddle in such trivial matters?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled and then said:

"Indeed, it's not appropriate for me to interfere in your country's affairs, but that doesn't stop me from giving you some advice."

Amir looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, do you have any ideas on how to resolve this matter?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said:

"Go apologize to that man named Ram and treat him well. Try to be as humble as possible. It would be best if both of you, father and son, went together and acted as humbly as possible. Then, look very scared and let him go."

Upon hearing this, Amir asked Zhu Yunwen with a puzzled look:

"But Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, how can we let such a person go? Do you also think we can't arrest him?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled without saying a word, then looked at Amir's father. Amir's father frowned, thought for a moment, and then said to Zhu Yunwen:

"Actually, I don't quite understand either. Please enlighten me, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly before saying:

There's a saying: "If you want someone to die, first make them go crazy." Simply put, it can be summed up in two words: "killing with praise."

Amir asked in confusion:

"To kill with praise. Your Highness, what is meant by 'to kill with praise'?"

Zhu Yunwen patiently explained:

"This man named Ram realized the wrong he had done, but no one could do anything to him."

If you even have to be obsequious to him, afraid of his background, and tolerate and fear him, he will become even more arrogant, smug, and self-righteous.

In their self-satisfaction, they lose themselves and go too far, resulting in increasingly outrageous actions.

As his actions become increasingly outrageous, someone even more powerful than him will eventually stand by and watch, or rather, be offended by him. If you can't deal with him, then you can elevate him to an even higher position.

Let him offend those more powerful people, and let those more powerful people deal with him. This is called "praising someone to death".

If you still don't understand, I can help you a little more and demonstrate it for you.

Amir and his son exchanged glances and seemed to understand something, so they did as Zhu Yuntong had instructed.

The father and son went together to that small room to personally apologize to Ram, who was trapped there.

At this moment, Ram was very angry, but at the same time, she was also a little nervous.

He hadn't expected Amir to be so stubborn and actually arrest him. He was worried that if the matter escalated, his father would have a hard time suppressing it.

But just as he was feeling a little nervous and flustered, he saw Amir and his son come in, and they were incredibly polite to him, apologizing profusely and trying to ease the tension.

They even said they wanted to pay compensation and go to his residence to apologize.

If Amir were to be so afraid of Ram, that would be understandable. However, Amir's father was, after all, an official, and an official shouldn't be so afraid of a second-generation official.

But soon, Ram realized that although Amir's father was also an official, there was still a significant gap between him and his own father.

So his fear of himself became understandable, which immediately restored his confidence, and a smug smile appeared on his face as he said to Amir and his son:
